History

San Isidro Mission was founded in 1970; named
after Isidro, a farm worker from Madrid, Spain,
Isidro, along with his wife Santa María de la Cabeza, also
canonized, were peasants who depended greatly upon
Divine Providence. They were very generous to others and
profoundly committed to the Church.

The Mission originally served the Spanish speaking
migrant farm workers. Prior to the construction of the
current church buildings, worshipers participated in the
Mass at the Pompano Beach Labor Camp, in various homes,
under trees, and in an old school house before building
a permanent home in 1975. Priests serving the Mission
praised the farm workers for their enthusiastic response
and faith which led to the construction of a new worship
space.

Due to the growth of the city there are no farms and the
workers have gone to other places. Today the Mission
serves as a parish a diversity of people, English, Spanish
and Creole speaking, united as one family committed to
over sixty ministries in the community. This growth has
also enabled an array of services to the poor and most
vulnerable of the community. San Isidro’s ministry extends
beyond the Archdiocese of Miami through a television
ministry which broadcasts live the Sunday Spanish Mass
around the world. San Isidro is committed to going forth to
proclaim to all creation the love and mercy of God.
